PDOStatement::fetch — Fetches the next row from a result set

Опис

public PDOStatement::fetch(int $mode = PDO::FETCH_DEFAULT, int $cursorOrientation = PDO::FETCH_ORI_NEXT, int $cursorOffset = 0): mixed

Fetches a row from a result set associated with a PDOStatement object. The mode parameter determines how PDO returns the row.

Параметри

mode

Controls how the next row will be returned to the caller. This value must be one of the PDO::FETCH_* constants, defaulting to value of PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE (which defaults to PDO::FETCH_BOTH).

PDO::FETCH_ASSOC: returns an array indexed by column name as returned in your result set
PDO::FETCH_BOTH (default): returns an array indexed by both column name and 0-indexed column number as returned in your result set
PDO::FETCH_BOUND: returns true and assigns the values of the columns in your result set to the PHP variables to which they were bound with the PDOStatement::bindColumn() method
PDO::FETCH_CLASS: returns a new instance of the requested class, mapping the columns of the result set to named properties in the class, and calling the constructor afterwards, unless PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE is also given. If mode includes PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE (e.g. PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE) then the name of the class is determined from a value of the first column.
PDO::FETCH_INTO: updates an existing instance of the requested class, mapping the columns of the result set to named properties in the class
PDO::FETCH_LAZY: combines PDO::FETCH_BOTH and PDO::FETCH_OBJ, and is returning a PDORow object which is creating the object property names as they are accessed.
PDO::FETCH_NAMED: returns an array with the same form as PDO::FETCH_ASSOC, except that if there are multiple columns with the same name, the value referred to by that key will be an array of all the values in the row that had that column name
PDO::FETCH_NUM: returns an array indexed by column number as returned in your result set, starting at column 0
PDO::FETCH_OBJ: returns an anonymous object with property names that correspond to the column names returned in your result set
PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE: when used with PDO::FETCH_CLASS, the constructor of the class is called before the properties are assigned from the respective column values.

cursorOrientation

For a PDOStatement object representing a scrollable cursor, this value determines which row will be returned to the caller. This value must be one of the PDO::FETCH_ORI_* constants, defaulting to PDO::FETCH_ORI_NEXT. To request a scrollable cursor for your PDOStatement object, you must set the PDO::ATTR_CURSOR attribute to PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL when you prepare the SQL statement with PDO::prepare().

cursorOffset

For a PDOStatement object representing a scrollable cursor for which the cursorOrientation parameter is set to PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS, this value specifies the absolute number of the row in the result set that shall be fetched.

For a PDOStatement object representing a scrollable cursor for which the cursorOrientation parameter is set to PDO::FETCH_ORI_REL, this value specifies the row to fetch relative to the cursor position before PDOStatement::fetch() was called.

Значення, що повертаються

The return value of this function on success depends on the fetch type. In all cases, false is returned on failure or if there are no more rows.

Помилки/виключення

Видає помилку рівня E_WARNING, якщо атрибут PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE дорівнює PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING.

Викидає PDOException, якщо атрибут PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE дорівнює PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.

Приклад #3 Construction order

When objects are fetched via PDO::FETCH_CLASS the object properties are assigned first, and then the constructor of the class is invoked. If PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE is also given, this order is reversed, i.e. first the constructor is called, and afterwards the properties are assigned.

<?php
class Person
{
    private $name;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->tell();
    }

    public function tell()
    {
        if (isset($this->name)) {
            echo "I am {$this->name}.\n";
        } else {
            echo "I don't have a name yet.\n";
        }
    }
}

$sth = $dbh->query("SELECT * FROM people");
$sth->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'Person');
$person = $sth->fetch();
$person->tell();

WARNING:
fetch() does NOT adhere to SQL-92 SQLSTATE standard when dealing with empty datasets.

Instead of setting the errorcode class to 20 to indicate "no data found", it returns a class of 00 indicating success, and returns NULL to the caller.

This also prevents the exception mechainsm from firing.

Programmers will need to explicitly code tests for empty resultsets after any fetch*() instead of relying on the default behavior of the RDBMS.

I tried logging this as a bug, but it was dismissed as "working as intended". Just a head's up.

Someone's already pointed out that PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL isn't supported by the SQLite driver. It's also worth noting that it's not supported by the MySQL driver either.

In fact, if you try to use scrollable cursors with a MySQL statement, the PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS parameter and the offset given to fetch() will be silently ignored. fetch() will behave as normal, returning rows in the order in which they came out of the database.

It's actually pretty confusing behaviour at first. Definitely worth documenting even if only as a user-added note on this page.

When using PDO::FETCH_COLUMN in a while loop, it's not enough to just use the value in the while statement as many examples show:

<?php
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN)) {
    print $row;
}
?>

If there are 5 rows with values 1 2 0 4 5, then the while loop above will stop at the third row printing only 1 2. The solution is to either explicitly test for false:

<?php
while (($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN)) !== false) {
    print $row;
}
?>

Or use foreach with fetchAll():

<?php
foreach ($stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN) as $row) {
    print $row;
}
?>

Both will correctly print 1 2 0 4 5.

When fetching an object, the constructor of the class is called after the fields are populated by default.



PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE is used to change the behaviour and make it work as expected - constructor be called _before_ the object fields will be populated with the data.



sample:



<?php

$a = $PDO->query('select id from table');

$a->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS|PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, 'ClassName');

$obj = $a->fetch();

?>

Here is quick note for developers that use the PDO SQLite Driver:

The PDO SQLite driver does not support cursors, so using the PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL Attribute, will not work when using the PDO SQLite driver. For example:

<?php

// Assuming $Handle Is a PDO Handle.
$Statement = $Handle->query( $sqlStatement , array( PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_SCROLL ) );

?>

What is even worse is that PDO::prepare will NOT throw an Exception when it fails to prepare the query, even when the error mode is set to throw Exceptions, and will instead return a Boolean False!

Not only do I consider this a poor design choice, but also its a real shame that this is not documented anywhere in the manual -- in fact the manual is not clear on what Attributes are supported by which drivers and which are not so developers are left to play a classic game of guess.

I hope this saves some developers some headaches.

Good Luck,

A prior poster indicated that this function returns a NULL when there are no results. This is not true. This function returns an empty array. fetchAll() returns the same.

Also, the documentation specifies what happens on "failure", but doesn't indicate what constitutes a "failure". A "failure" could be where the function returns no results; that is, the query "failed". However, a "failure" is apparently a situation where the PDO error functions would reveal a "failure", as in illegal SQL syntax, or a query on a table which doesn't exist, etc. An empty result is not a "failure". Maybe that's obvious to everyone else, but it wasn't to me.

If you to use a new instance of a class for a record you can use:

<?php
include_once("user.class");
$sth = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = 1");

/* create instance automatically */
$sth->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'user');
$sth->execute();
$user = $sth->fetch( PDO::FETCH_CLASS );
$sth->closeCursor();
print ($user->id);

/* or create an instance yourself and use it */
$user= new user();
$sth->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_INTO, $user);
$sth->execute();
$user= $sth->fetch( PDO::FETCH_INTO );
$sth->closeCursor();
print ($user->id);
?>

Because MySQL does not currently support the use of cursors, the $cursor_offset feature cannot work when using PDO to access a MySQL database.

If you are tring to arbitrarily access a specific record or group of records in a MySQL database recordset, you might want to consider using the LIMIT clause of the SELECT statement to achieve this e.g. LIMIT 5,3 to return just the 6th,7th & 8th records - 3 records starting at index 5 (which is the 6th record).

I can also add that the constructor is run _after_ the data is set on the object if yo use PDO::FETCH_CLASS.

If you want to use PDO::FETCH_CLASS you need to set it up with setFetchMode first like so:
        $stmt->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'classType', array( 'parameters to constructor' );
        $object = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_CLASS );
If you ommit this PHP will segfault.

PDO::FETCH_ORI_FIRST :-
Fetch the first row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.

PDO::FETCH_ORI_LAST :-
Fetch the last row in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.

PDO::FETCH_ORI_ABS :-
Fetch the requested row by row number from the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.

PDO::FETCH_ORI_REL :- 
Fetch the requested row by relative position from the current position of the cursor in the result set. Valid only for scrollable cursors.

When using a PDOStatement with the fetch mode set to FETCH_CLASS, fetch will return false if no rows were found.

Be careful with fetch() when you use prepared statements and MySQL (I don`t know how it is with other databases). Fetch won`t close cursor and won`t let you send any other query, even if your result set has only one row, . 
If you use $statement->fetch(), you will also have to use $statement->closeCursor() afterwards, to be albe to execute another query.
Alternatively you can use $statement->fetchAll() without $statement->closeCursor().

It seems that if you do a $statement->query() with an INSERT statement and after that a $statement->fetch() you will get an exception saying: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error.

I spent some hours trying to find out how to manipulate with BLOB fields using PDO.

Remember that you can't retreive BLOB data using something like this :

<?php
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM sometable LIMIT 1';
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->setAttribute(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$row = $stmt->fetch();

$myFile = $row['file'];
?>

Instead of this you should try following approach:

<?php
$sql = "SELECT mime, file FROM sometable LIMIT 1"; 
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql); 
$stmt->execute(); 

$stmt->bindColumn(1, $mime,); 
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $file, PDO::PARAM_LOB); 

$stmt->fetch(); 

header('Content-type: '.$mime);
print $file; 

?>

tastro ¶

Note that this way, the "fetch mode" will get "overwritten", and PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE won't be applied:

<?php
$sth = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = 1");
$sth->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS|PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, 'user');
$sth->execute();
$user = $sth->fetch( PDO::FETCH_CLASS );
$sth->closeCursor();
?>

Instead, you should leave the parameter area for the fetch() method empty, like this (if you want to set the fetch mode with the setFetchMode() method):

<?php
$sth = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = 1");
$sth->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS|PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, 'user');
$sth->execute();
$user = $sth->fetch();
$sth->closeCursor();
?>

Be careful when using PDO::FETCH_LAZY.  It adds an additional field called queryString.  I'm not sure if this a bug or not. I'm using version 5.6.17 in Debian Jessie.

Query:  'select 1,2,3'

$row=$smt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
var_dump($row);

object(stdClass)#6 (3) {
  ["1"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["2"]=>
  string(1) "2"
  ["3"]=>
  string(1) "3"
}

$row=$smt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_LAZY);
var_dump($row);

object(PDORow)#3 (4) {
  ["queryString"]=>
  string(12) "select 1,2,3"
  ["1"]=>
